I wanted to go to San Francisco to see my friends before the big graduation and scatter. So I flew in late one Thursday night to this beautiful coastal sunset.
Sweet Nikki rescued me from the airport and put me up in wonderful accommodations, much better than what I had to offer her. It did come with an early walk up call. I joined her for the bright and early carpool into Lucasfilm. (A small preview of what I could enjoy if I returned to the Bay area.) But I was then rewarded with the greatly missed omelet and bacon; a regular occurrence for the two of us.
After an entire unplanned day of visiting former coworkers, I met the Ferres, Hudsons, and amazing Brittany at the incredible Barney's complete with an oreo shake.
It was so nice of Patrick and Heidi to take some time to visit despite the crazy Board schedule I invaded. Thanks Russ for watching Cadence so I could steal Brittany away. It made me feel so special.
Speaking of Boards, Brittany, like the good wife that she is, was a patient for Russ. So that meant the girl, Cadence, and I got to spend the afternoon together. We played like an impostor with the other cute moms in San Rafael. It was neat to kinda fake motherhood just once. Then Katie took us in like she wasn't already juggling a millions things. After an exhausting afternoon of playing with our friends, we devoured burritos from Gordos. (Can you see how important food was to me during my visit?)
Dessert was enjoyed down on Chestnut Street while we did some highly enjoyable people watching.
It's important to mention the prime parking we scored and had to take a picture of.
The combination of the late hour, the sugar, and the desire to not part ways on our last night in our favorite city, we decided to run down Lombard Street. Yes, run. And run we did. A lot. We amused quite a few people including ourselves. This is one of the less embarrassing photos believe it or not. 
Off to Baker Beach, under the impression that in the middle of the dark night, we might be able to take some great photos. 
This is the last photo of the four of us together. These three women have forever touched my heart and improved my life. They are among many in San Francisco that held my hand and I will never be the same person because of their love and example. 
San Francisco will always hold apart of my heart.

Ahhhh! Fun memories! Glad you got to go back and see all the friends off! :) SF will always hold special memories of the great friends we found! :)
Erin,
I forgot about all of this. Oh. I miss it there and you. Come visit me :)
ps: I never got to leave my memory of you.
I first moved into SF. You came over with some girls and were the nicest person EVER to me. We played tennis and have fun. I am so sad to say that we bonded through some rough times but I guess thats how a lot of great friendships begin. I was truly amazed at your strength and your testimony of the gospel. I look up to you so much and am so happy we are friends.
please forgive all my grammatical errors, for there are many :)
That was SO much fun! Bummer that I have such a gross facial expression in our LAST picture together! I know what you mean about SF. I feel my heart melt a little whenever I think about it. :) Sniffle...
